In RMC Ott Tänak and Evgeny Novikov are nominated by M-Sport Ford World Rally Team, which has also entered 1994 Monte Carlo winner François Delecour.
Martin Prokop are entered by the Czech Ford National Team.
Individual entries have been placed by Matthew Wilson, Henning Solberg and Julien Maurin.

I think the plan is for Solberg and Wilson to form an second "M-Sport Ford World Rally Team"

There are one M-Sport Ford World Rally team, what is nominated two cars for points.

Tänak is leading driver and Novikov likes the other nominated driver for Monte Carlo and Sweden.

There is not yet another M-Sport affiliated team like we had last year: Munchi's, Ferm, Monster.
These teams have still a link on the website of M-Sport. Welcome to M-Sport
Maybe these team later make their announcement to be again a WRC team in 2012.

Ford is for now in with 'only' two teams what can score points. Ford as Manufacturer and M-Sport as WRC team.
Other drivers (Henning for example) are private-entry and one team-entry (Prokop), they can't score points for teams.

If you see I Rally both Henning and Mathew's Monteis in doubt due to sponsors money not coming through, so I guess another Ford team is (was) planned. This I think is the replacement for Stobart.

The new M-Sport Ford WRT with Tänak is the new Stobart M-Sport Ford WRT.

"Replacing the M-Sport Stobart Ford World Rally Team as the WRC’s leading privateer, the M-Sport Ford World Rally Team will be hoping to emulate the successes of its predecessor’s final season and get its own 2012 campaign off to a flying start."
